The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 42: Concubine Shu is banished to the cold palace

Han Fengli: "Chen Jing, what kind of princess did you marry? We just wanted to find out the situation today, but we didn't expect your princess to do such a big thing. She is really capable. This prince admires her."

Chu Chenjing was delighted when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth curled up. His princess really kept surprising him. "I didn't know she had such a talent."

"Vice General Meng should be able to arrive before 12:00 a.m."

While they were making secret arrangements overnight, they were impressed by Ouyang Yunyao's wisdom and ability.

It was already Yin time when An Er arrived at the Prince's Mansion. The Prince Chu Chenxiao had already gotten up and was preparing to wash up and go to the morning court. After listening to An Er's brief narration, the Prince felt that the matter was of great importance and immediately rushed to the Imperial Study to report to his father before the morning court.

The prince rushed to the door of the imperial study and saw Eunuch Hong: "Eunuch Hong, is my father here?"

"Your Highness, you came so early today. What a coincidence! The Emperor rested in the Imperial Study last night."

"Eunuch Hong, is Father awake yet?"

"Woke up."

The prince hurried into the imperial study without waiting for Eunuch Hong to report.

"Father."

"Xiao'er, what's the matter with you looking for father so early?"

"Father, it's a big deal."

The prince informed the emperor of everything that happened between Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing in West Valley last night.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and slammed the table in anger. "Are they trying to usurp the throne?"

He only thought that Xue Conggui was winning over the ministers, and his second son had 100,000 troops at the western border, so there was nothing to be afraid of. He didn't expect them to be so bold, not taking their royal family seriously at all, and actually secretly opened mines, forged weapons, and trained private soldiers with his second prince in the suburbs of Kyoto. Was this an attempt to usurp the throne?

"Father, Chen Jing asked Vice General Meng to surround that place this morning."

"Father clearly said that this matter was done by my second brother alone, and Prime Minister Xue was not involved."

Although the prince knew that his father wanted to take action against Prime Minister Xue, Chu Chenyu was his brother, and his father certainly did not want them to kill each other.

"Aren't there people from General Xue?"

The prince thought that although it was Chu Chenyu who did it, he was not at the scene, so he could find someone to take the blame. He didn't know what his father would do this time.

The time for court was approaching, and the emperor put on his imperial robes with the help of the eunuchs. He said to the prince, "Xiao'er, go to court first, and then we'll see what Jing'er has found out."

The morning court was full of arguments as usual. The emperor had a cold face today and said nothing, letting them argue.

The ministers felt that the emperor was a little strange today, and the noisy ones quieted down, but the emperor still did not speak.

When the morning court session was almost over, Chu Chenjing walked in.

"Father, I have something important to report."

"explain."

"Father, last night someone reported that someone was found mining iron ore, forging weapons, and training private soldiers in the West Valley. Due to the emergency, I have sent Deputy General Meng to lead people to encircle and suppress them, and found that there are 5,000 private soldiers being trained.

As soon as Chu Chenjing opened his mouth, Chu Chenyu knew that he was in trouble this time. He didn't know how Chu Chenjing found such a secret place.

Xue Conggui and Xue Jianming also felt bad when they heard this. They knew all the things Chu Chenyu did secretly, and Xu Yang was also given to Chu Chenyu by Xue Conggui.

"Who is so bold? Jing'er, have you found out who it is?" The emperor asked, pretending not to know.

"Father, this..."

"explain."

"They are my second brother's personal guards and General Xue's men."

“Who are they?”

"Second brother's personal bodyguard Chen Ping, General Xue Jianhai's deputy general Lu Dapeng, and a group of subordinates."

Chu Chenjing just finished speaking here.

Chu Chenyu on the other side immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I am innocent. That person is definitely not my man. Someone must have framed me."

Xue Conggui and Xue Jianming also quickly knelt down.

Xue Conggui: "Your Majesty, please understand clearly that someone must have framed Prince Yu and my son."

The emperor was so angry that he threw a memorial at Prince Yu, "There are witnesses here, and you actually say that it is a false accusation against you."

"Father, it's not me." Prince Yu was relieved. None of those things were placed in his territory. Many weapons were delivered to his second uncle at the southern border. Until now, there was no news that Xu Yang was captured.

Many of the people from Prime Minister Xue's faction knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yu must have been framed."

Lu Dapeng's father, Lu Yong, was also stunned at this time. He was the Minister of Personnel and had always been loyal to the emperor, not leaning on either side. He didn't expect that his son would actually... He sighed.

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that this evil child had been in the suburbs of Beijing. He never came back. I always thought he was at the border. I am also guilty because I didn't educate him well."

The emperor said nothing.

Chu Chenjing: "Father, I have something to say."

"Say"

"The patrol camp found a lot of refined iron blocks and a large number of weapons in my second brother's villa outside the west gate."

Chu Chenyu was confused. Why would these things be placed in his villa?

"Father, Father, someone must have framed me."

"Father, my second brother's other subordinate Xu Yang ran away, and we have sent many people to chase him." Chu Chenyu collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over."

"Jing'er, hand those people over to the Dali Temple for strict interrogation."

"Ok."

At this time, a person rushed in from the door. Everyone saw that it was Concubine Shu. She no longer cared about her image and rushed to the emperor and knelt down with a "dong".

"Your Majesty, this West Valley was not done by Yu'er. Yu'er, my father, my elder brother, and my second brother are all unaware of this. This was all arranged by me."

"At that time, Chen Ping came to tell me that an iron mine was discovered in the West Mountain. I was short-sighted and greedy. I thought I could make money by digging it out and refining it into iron blocks and selling them. Later, I wanted him to train a few people to protect Yu'er. I didn't expect him to be so bold and actually recruited so many people. I didn't know it either. It's my fault. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Concubine Shu had always wanted her son to sit on the throne, so how could she let him get into trouble? Her father and brothers couldn't get into trouble either, because her son needed their help. Her people informed her of the news, and she rushed over. This was no small matter, and she had to take the blame.

At this time, the Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi said: "Madam Shufei, Lu Dapeng is General Xue's deputy."

"He is no longer the same. He had a quarrel with my second brother, and asked Chen Ping to intercede with me. I just wanted to find someone who is capable and skilled in martial arts. He promised to teach them to me. I will help him find my second brother to mediate."

Xue Xiang cried and said, "Your Majesty, you are so foolish! How can you be so greedy? How can Prince Yu live his life in the future?"

"Father, it was my daughter's ignorance that caused trouble for Yu'er and for you all. Your Majesty, please punish me for the years I have served you."

The prince knew that Prime Minister Xue was cunning, but he never imagined that this old fox was so cunning that he sacrificed Concubine Shu and never expected that Concubine Shu would bear the consequences alone.

The emperor knew that he couldn't do anything to Prime Minister Xue this time, but he could at least let them have one less concubine in the palace.

"Xue Yuqin, you are so bold. Remove your title of concubine and banish her to the cold palace, where she will never be allowed to leave."

"Prime Minister Xue failed to educate his daughter well, so he was fined one year's salary and ordered to reflect on his mistakes for one month.

"Prince Yu failed to manage his subordinates properly and will be confined to reflect on his mistakes for three months."

"The Dali Temple will conduct a thorough investigation of this matter. The Crown Prince will be in full charge, and Prince Jing will cooperate."

"I obey your command." "Your son obeys your command." "Your son obeys your command."

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground and shed tears. She finally saved her Yu'er and her father and brother. She herself endured two years in the cold palace. As long as her Yu'er ascended the throne, she would be the empress dowager.

The concubine was taken away.
